Could've just made an arrow pointing to your avatar for how you feel about MMX and saved the trouble of typing that out.

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!
That pretty much displays everything I have come to hate about Sonic games. Gone are the clever levels, which are fun to explore and take in the scenery, not to mention the cool secrets to be found. It's now just go fast, can't see shit, 'cause you're going so fast, and you can't take in the level. They've even all but removed the ring mechanic, which used to be a core element, and your means of staying alive, whereas now they just seem like the rings are there in a nice little line, as it's the only way to collect some rings as you're zipping past.
Yeah, I've had a chance to play the demo for Generations by this point, and while my feelings towards Modern Sonic have improved slightly after having seen it firsthand, I still prefer Classic by a long shot. No contest. I still feel like I have no control whatsoever over Modern Sonic even after playing through that level a bunch of times, where as with Classic I'm zipping around and could actually feel myself getting better at the Green Hill level almost every time I played it.
And if I remember right, rings do refill your boost meter a little with Modern, don't they? (Something I would ALWAYS run out of before the end of the level) Other than that they don't serve as much of a purpose, especially because you can just use the homing attack on enemies so that if you know they are there you'll never run into them.
Edit: Having just watched that video, why does it feel like he cut out the majority of the level simply by running across the water all the time like that? There were a ton of platforms and ramps above his head as he went along.

Yeah, when I stop to think about what happened it's quite ingenious because I'd never think to do that on my own. It's the kind of trick we'd all be praising if it were a Metroid title, and yet the first thing my mind thought of is the fact that the trick cut all of the challenge out of the level. I seriously need to expand my speed running mentality to other games besides Metroid. Sonic is built for this sort of thinking, and heck I was even speed running the two demo stages just a few days ago, so I know speed runs and sequence breaks exist outside of what we do here.
In short, I'm being stupid and the video is awesome despite being Modern Sonic, which I have a grudge against it would seem.
Oh, and I haven't played the full version of Generations yet, but I've heard varying rumors about the level spread between Classic and Modern. One of which was that each character has something like 5 acts in each world, which sounds like a ton compared to the original 3 Sonic games.

just got a notice saying that the steam database was hacked and the guys got acess to the passwords, credit card billing adress and such
they still don't know if credit cards numbers were compromised too, but for you guys that have them saved, better do something about it...
i bet it's the same ones that fucked PSN up some time ago...
